Which SMS?
Storage Management System - Software used to routinely back up and archive files.
Systems Management Server - Systems management software from Microsoft that runs on Windows NT Server. It requires a Microsoft SQL Server database and is used to distribute software, monitor and analyze network usage and perform various network administration tasks.
Short Message Service - A text message service that enables short messages of generally no more than 140-160 characters in length to be sent and transmitted from a cellphone. SMS is supported by GSM and other mobile communications systems. Unlike paging, short messages are stored and forwarded in SMS centers. In the GSM system, short messages ride on a separate signaling path so they are transmitted simultaneously with voice, data and fax.
Storage Management Services - Software from Novell that allows data to be stored and retrieved on NetWare servers independent of the file system the data is maintained in (DOS, OS/2, Mac, etc.). It is used to back up data from heterogeneous clients on the network. Various third-party backup products are SMS compliant.
System-Managed Storage - Enhanced data management software for MVS mainframes from IBM. Introduced in 1988, it provides functions such as automatically allocating data, which prevents most out-of-space errors when disk volumes become full.
